Graham Gibbs' reflective cycle

The reflective cycle is a process that guides reflective practice through the following steps:

  1. Describe what happened without judgment or analysis.
  2. Define how you felt, what you were thinking, and how you feel now, but without judgment.
  3. Evaluate everything that happened, the good and the bad.
  4. Analyse the situation to make sense of everything that occurred.
  5. Draw conclusions based on the information you gathered so far.
  6. Figure out what you will do differently next time.
